New Testament

Amos 1:8-13 New King James Version (NKJV)

8. I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod,And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;I will turn My hand against Ekron,And the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”Says the Lord God.

9. Thus says the Lord:“For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four,I will not turn away its punishment,Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.

10. But I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre,Which shall devour its palaces.”

11. Thus says the Lord:“For three transgressions of Edom, and for four,I will not turn away its punishment,Because he pursued his brother with the sword,And cast off all pity;His anger tore perpetually,And he kept his wrath forever.

12. But I will send a fire upon Teman,Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”

13. Thus says the Lord:“For three transgressions of the people of Ammon, and for four,I will not turn away its punishment,Because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead,That they might enlarge their territory.
